If you can afford it, absolutely.
There's also an argument to be made for good equipment making a hobby more accessible. Musical instruments especially. It's almost always much harder to make a cheap musical instrument sound nice than it is a good one. From clarinets to guitars to synths. I wouldn't be surprised if half the people who quit an instrument do so because they're trying to learn on a $100 Walmart special, something that ironically would only sound good in the hands of a professional who wouldn't touch it in the first place.
I once bought some cheap harmonicas and after about. 10 minutes was like "yeah, these are total crap and won't be any fun." So I gave them away for free to someone who knew exactly what they were and bought a real one.
